At this rate, the cost of electricity in SF is going to rival the cost of gasoline for an EV. That's already the case in some places in Europe.

In SF, gasoline is roughly at $5/gallon. If your ICE car gets 31 mpg but your electricity works out to be $0.70/kWh on an EV that gets 4.2 mi/kWh (eg Tesla Model 3), you're ever so slightly better off choosing an ICE vehicle vs an EV in a strictly financial sense in that case, according to chooseev's calculator*.
